Fori Massac, In Illinois, the starting point of George Rogers Clark's wonderful campaign which fixed the western boundarv of the United States at the Mississippi instead of at the Alleglienies after the Revolution, is pronounced undamaged by recent floods. The long disputed site of Fort Creve Coeur in Illinois, built by LuSalle in 1681, has been officially fixed. Fort Ticonderogu Is at the point where Lake Chaiuplain receives the outlet of Lake George. It was the one supposedly invulnerable spot on the wuterway from the St. Lawrence to the Hudson, "the Gateway of the Great War Trail." Its history is fascinating. It was here that Champlain found the Iroquois entrenched in a rude stockade in 1601). His firearms won victory?and turned the Iroquois Confederacy Into the implacable foe of the French, and made this country English instead of French. The French built the first fort In 1755, at the beginning of the French and Indian War, and called It Fort Carillon. In 1757 it was Montcalm's headquarters. In 1758 Abercrombie made his fumous unsuccessful assault in which the noted Black Watch regiment, "who could not go forward and would not go back" was nearly wiped out. In 1759 Amherst forced its evacuation by the French. In the Revolution it was taken, May 10, 1775. by Ethan Allen and his "Green Mountain Boys." July 5, 1777, It surrendered to Burgoyne. It was evacuuted by the British in 1780 and abandoned. Fire devastated It. The settlers curried oil its material for their buildings. After peace, Gen. DeWitt Clinton of New York deeded its site, containing 000 acres, to Columbia and Union colleges. Finally the Pell family of New York bought it and are now restoring it, with the co-operation of Col. Robert M. Thompson, father of Mrs. S. H. P. Pell, and of Alfred C. Blossom, architect. Search of American, Canadian, British and French archives has been made and it is in accordance with the data gathered that the restoration is being made. Many relics have been collected into a museum. The hull of the Revolutionary schooner Revenge lies on the Pell estate. Fort Massac Safe. Fear that retaining walls constructed to protect the site of old Fort Massac from the flood waters of the Ohio river had been damaged by recent high water has been allayed by inspection of the walls, according to the state department of public works. Alarmed over reports that the site was in danger, the department caused Its examination to be made as soon as the high water receded. Marking the starting point of the exploits of George Rogers Clark in the Northwest territory, the site of Fort Massac near Metropolis has been under state supervision since 11K13, FATHERS? NIX!
